It will play them, but only the 2 channel layer on the disc. You will need an SACD player to get the benefit of the SACD disc.

Yes. It will play CDs. Optical drives like this Samsung are ALL backward compatible to older disc formats. If it plays Bluray, it will play DVD and if it plays DVD, it will play CD.**Because they still build all Bluray (blue laser) optical drives with DVD/CD (red lasers) as well

Yes, it will be compatible with CDs, DVDs, and HD-DVD, and Most Blu-rays. Some newer Blurays will require that you hook up the unit to the internet and download the latest drivers.

Probably way to late for this answer, but I too was curious as to it's cd-r/rw capabilities so I wrote to the company. They answered quickly (to my surprise) and was told "YES", it will play any/all types of cd's. The BeBop player which sells on Amazon will as well (I own that one so know for a fact that it does). This information should be in the items' descriptions. It would have saved me lots of research time!

Yes it plays BOTH VCR's and DVD's. As for DVD's, it will play burned discs and FOREIGN DVD;s with a different region code. I was very happy about it.
